๐ orpheus-3b-0.1-ft GGUF Models
These GGUF models offer ultra - low - bit quantization with IQ - DynamicGate (1 - 2 bit), providing high memory efficiency while maintaining accuracy. They are based on models like meta - llama/Llama - 3.2 - 3B - Instruct and canopylabs/orpheus - 3b - 0.1 - pretrained, and are suitable for various hardware and memory - constrained scenarios.
โจ Features
Ultra - Low - Bit Quantization with IQ - DynamicGate (1 - 2 bit)
- Our latest quantization method introduces precision - adaptive quantization for ultra - low - bit models (1 - 2 bit), with benchmark - proven improvements on Llama - 3 - 8B. This approach uses layer - specific strategies to preserve accuracy while maintaining extreme memory efficiency.
Benchmark Context
All tests were conducted on Llama - 3 - 8B - Instruct using:
- Standard perplexity evaluation pipeline
- 2048 - token context window
- The same prompt set across all quantizations
Method
- Dynamic Precision Allocation:
- First/Last 25% of layers โ IQ4_XS (selected layers)
- Middle 50% โ IQ2_XXS/IQ3_S (increase efficiency)
- Critical Component Protection:
- Embeddings/output layers use Q5_K
- Reduces error propagation by 38% vs standard 1 - 2bit
Quantization Performance Comparison (Llama - 3 - 8B)

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
IQ2_XXS | 11.30 | 9.84 | -12.9% | 2.5G | 2.6G | +0.1G | 234s | 246s |
IQ2_XS | 11.72 | 11.63 | -0.8% | 2.7G | 2.8G | +0.1G | 242s | 246s |
IQ2_S | 14.31 | 9.02 | -36.9% | 2.7G | 2.9G | +0.2G | 238s | 244s |
IQ1_M | 27.46 | 15.41 | -43.9% | 2.2G | 2.5G | +0.3G | 206s | 212s |
IQ1_S | 53.07 | 32.00 | -39.7% | 2.1G | 2.4G | +0.3G | 184s | 209s |
Key:
- PPL = Perplexity (lower is better)
- ฮ PPL = Percentage change from standard to DynamicGate
- Speed = Inference time (CPU avx2, 2048 token context)
- Size differences reflect mixed quantization overhead
Key Improvements:
- ๐ฅ IQ1_M shows a massive 43.9% perplexity reduction (27.46 โ 15.41)
- ๐ IQ2_S cuts perplexity by 36.9% while adding only 0.2GB
- โก IQ1_S maintains 39.7% better accuracy despite 1 - bit quantization
Tradeoffs:
- All variants have modest size increases (0.1 - 0.3GB)
- Inference speeds remain comparable (<5% difference)
When to Use These Models
๐ Fitting models into GPU VRAM โ Memory - constrained deployments โ Cpu and Edge Devices where 1 - 2bit errors can be tolerated โ Research into ultra - low - bit quantization
Choosing the Right Model Format
Selecting the correct model format depends on your hardware capabilities and memory constraints.
BF16 (Brain Float 16) โ Use if BF16 acceleration is available
- A 16 - bit floating - point format designed for faster computation while retaining good precision.
- Provides similar dynamic range as FP32 but with lower memory usage.
- Recommended if your hardware supports BF16 acceleration (check your device's specs).
- Ideal for high - performance inference with reduced memory footprint compared to FP32.
๐ Use BF16 if: โ Your hardware has native BF16 support (e.g., newer GPUs, TPUs). โ You want higher precision while saving memory. โ You plan to requantize the model into another format.
๐ Avoid BF16 if: โ Your hardware does not support BF16 (it may fall back to FP32 and run slower). โ You need compatibility with older devices that lack BF16 optimization.
F16 (Float 16) โ More widely supported than BF16
- A 16 - bit floating - point high precision but with a smaller range of values than BF16.
- Works on most devices with FP16 acceleration support (including many GPUs and some CPUs).
- Slightly lower numerical precision than BF16 but generally sufficient for inference.
๐ Use F16 if: โ Your hardware supports FP16 but not BF16. โ You need a balance between speed, memory usage, and accuracy. โ You are running on a GPU or another device optimized for FP16 computations.
๐ Avoid F16 if: โ Your device lacks native FP16 support (it may run slower than expected). โ You have memory limitations.
Quantized Models (Q4_K, Q6_K, Q8, etc.) โ For CPU & Low - VRAM Inference
Quantization reduces model size and memory usage while maintaining as much accuracy as possible.
- Lower - bit models (Q4_K) โ Best for minimal memory usage, may have lower precision.
- Higher - bit models (Q6_K, Q8_0) โ Better accuracy, requires more memory.
๐ Use Quantized Models if: โ You are running inference on a CPU and need an optimized model. โ Your device has low VRAM and cannot load full - precision models. โ You want to reduce memory footprint while keeping reasonable accuracy.
๐ Avoid Quantized Models if: โ You need maximum accuracy (full - precision models are better for this). โ Your hardware has enough VRAM for higher - precision formats (BF16/F16).
Very Low - Bit Quantization (IQ3_XS, IQ3_S, IQ3_M, Q4_K, Q4_0)
These models are optimized for extreme memory efficiency, making them ideal for low - power devices or large - scale deployments where memory is a critical constraint.
-
IQ3_XS: Ultra - low - bit quantization (3 - bit) with extreme memory efficiency.
- Use case: Best for ultra - low - memory devices where even Q4_K is too large.
- Trade - off: Lower accuracy compared to higher - bit quantizations.
-
IQ3_S: Small block size for maximum memory efficiency.
- Use case: Best for low - memory devices where IQ3_XS is too aggressive.
-
IQ3_M: Medium block size for better accuracy than IQ3_S.
- Use case: Suitable for low - memory devices where IQ3_S is too limiting.
-
Q4_K: 4 - bit quantization with block - wise optimization for better accuracy.
- Use case: Best for low - memory devices where Q6_K is too large.
-
Q4_0: Pure 4 - bit quantization, optimized for ARM devices.
- Use case: Best for ARM - based devices or low - memory environments.
Summary Table: Model Format Selection
Model Format | Precision | Memory Usage | Device Requirements | Best Use Case |
---|---|---|---|---|
BF16 | Highest | High | BF16 - supported GPU/CPUs | High - speed inference with reduced memory |
F16 | High | High | FP16 - supported devices | GPU inference when BF16 isn't available |
Q4_K | Medium Low | Low | CPU or Low - VRAM devices | Best for memory - constrained environments |
Q6_K | Medium | Moderate | CPU with more memory | Better accuracy while still being quantized |
Q8_0 | High | Moderate | CPU or GPU with enough VRAM | Best accuracy among quantized models |
IQ3_XS | Very Low | Very Low | Ultra - low - memory devices | Extreme memory efficiency and low accuracy |
Q4_0 | Low | Low | ARM or low - memory devices | llama.cpp can optimize for ARM devices |
